Last Wednesday, Adam Keogh had the round of his life at the home of England Golf. He played at Woodhall Spa Golf Club’s Hotchkin Course and achieved an astonishing score of -13. It was a day to remember for the 35-year-old golfer as he recorded his fifth career hole-in-one and secured what is believed to be the best-ever score on the course from the white tees.
But that’s not all. Just two weeks earlier, Keogh shot a remarkable 59 (-13) at Turkey’s Carya Golf Course, breaking his personal record by three shots. His recent form has been nothing short of exceptional, with a combined score of -54 for his last six rounds, including five eagles, 45 birdies, 57 pars, and only one bogey.
During his incredible round at Woodhall Spa, Keogh was playing alongside fellow professional Jordan Wrisdale, who also had an impressive round of -5. Wrisdale couldn’t help but praise Keogh’s performance, describing it as incredible and stating that Keogh didn’t miss a shot and his putting was outstanding.
Keogh’s round started off strong, with birdies and an eagle ace. As the round progressed, he continued to play exceptionally well, securing birdies on crucial holes. Heading into the final hole, Keogh needed an eagle to shoot 59, but unfortunately fell just short. Nevertheless, his score of -13 was still a remarkable achievement.
It’s worth noting that the official course record at Woodhall Spa’s Hotchkin Course is -9, set by David Horsey in the 2005 Champion of Champions event. Keogh’s score of -13 not only surpassed this record but also marked his fifth hole-in-one on the iconic 12th hole.
Despite his incredible performance, Keogh didn’t have much time to celebrate. As it was a morning round, his celebration consisted of a quick lunch before getting back to work in the afternoon.
Keogh’s exceptional form extends beyond his round at Woodhall Spa. He had a series of impressive scores while on holiday in Turkey, including a round of -13 at Carya Golf Course and a round of -7 at The National Golf Club. Even in treacherous conditions, Keogh managed to shoot -2 at Woodhall Spa’s Hotchkin Course.
Looking ahead, Keogh’s next event won’t be until February, so there won’t be much golf in the meantime. However, he remains focused on coaching and maintaining his skills on the course.
Keogh’s golfing career has been filled with highlights, including representing England at amateur level and winning the English PGA Championship. He has also had the privilege of playing in DP World Tour events and featuring for GB&I against the USA at the PGA Cup.
In conclusion, Adam Keogh’s incredible golf round at Woodhall Spa is a testament to his skill and dedication to the game. His record-breaking score of -13 and fifth hole-in-one are truly remarkable achievements. Keogh’s exceptional form and passion for golf make him a force to be reckoned with in the sport.
